She wrote: “There’s a HUGE Difference between miracles and magic! A lot of people expect miracles to be like magic tricks.. Trust me, I’m not here to defend any man of God, but truth is: miracles do exist.
“The issue is that many Nigerians now want miracles to work like magic!! instant, effortless, automatic.. tHing is magic doesn’t need your BELIEF; miracle does. That’s why Jesus said, “Your faith has made you whole”.
“Sadly, some Nigerian pastors have capitalized on people’s laziness, and quick-fix mentality, which is why fake churches are EVERYWHERE. And for those who ask “Why don’t men of God go to hospitals?” you probably didn’t grow up in old Pentecostal systems.
“There’s something called “clinic visits” where regular church members go pray for the sick in hospitals, and many return with testimonies.
“Fake pastors and the greedy of some of this pastors have messed up the church in Nigeria, but it doesn’t change the fact that miracle ≠ magic, and faith is still a major part of how miracles work”.
